Another Reason to Hate Lawyers

And old joke, but still one of the best lawyers jokes ever:

A rather well to do gentleman was nearing the end of his life and had made many bequests to various charitable organizations. He still harbored a thought though - what if you could take it with you? Some of it at least.

So he called for his priest, his doctor and his lawyer and gave each of them an envelope with $100,000 in it. At the graveside service, they were to throw the envelopes into the casket prior to burial so the elderly gentleman would be comfortable in the afterlife.

The man passed away and the three persons he had summoned followed his final instructions by tossing the envelopes into the casket just before the hole was filled. On the way back to the cars, the priest broke down and announced he had a confession to make.

"The church needed a new roof, and we were $25,000 dollars short of our fundraising goal. My friends, I shorted our benefactor's envelope that $25,000 and can barely bear the shame.

The doctor said, "As this appears the time to be completely honest, I too, have a confession to make. The hospital at which I work needed a new x-ray machine and we had to have it soon. $50,000 was the price and I had $100,000 in my possession. I must confess that I shorted the envelope that amount.

The lawyer shook his head and exclaimed, "Gentlemen, I am ashamed of the both of you. We were trusted to take care of this man's last wishes and he wished us to ensure his continued comforts in the afterlife. That money was for his comfort alone, which is why I threw in a check for the full amount.

A cruise ship sank carrying a lawyers convention. Over 1500 attorneys were aboard. The coast guard was able to save 500 attorneys from the sea. Once back on land one of the surviving attorneys asked the coast guard officers how many attorneys were saved. The coast guard officer told the soaking wet attorney that they snatched 500 attorneys from the rough seas. The attorney said, but there was many more there to save. The coast guard officer said, hey 33 1/3% was always a good number for you guys so we stopped at that!

Word has it Jay "maury's toupees"Grodner's law practice has tanked,so he's going into the matchmaking business. In an effort to smooth things w/the Police, he's going to fix up hannibal DREW(who's back in the dating scene)w/mope-rah.

Hey DO WHATEVER YOU FEEL OUT THERE MAN!!

But I have to agree with the Sgt. Now is not the time to be so PROACTIVE and if you can't figure it out then go ahead and do what you want just don't JAM UP others doing STUPID shit right now POLICE RANGER!

They really only care about the contact cards and some sort of DOC numbers so be careful!

True story. Two seasoned defense lawyers at 26th street represented two defendants separately. Both were charged with armed robbery. The evidence was exactly the same against both defendants. The jury found one defendant guilty and the other not guilty. When asked to explain why the defense attorney s stated " He got the $10,000 jury trial and he(the guilty one) got the $5000 dollar jury trial. They both laughed.

* Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?" * Witness: "No." * Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?" * Witness: "No." * Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?" * Witness: "No." * Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?" * Witness: "No." * Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?" * Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar." * Lawyer: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?" * Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."

He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education then any cop from Chicago.

He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the cop's expense.The cop says," License and registration, please.""What for?" says the lawyer.The cop says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."Then the lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming.""You still didn't come to a complete stop, Says the cop. License andregistration, please."The lawyer says, "What's the difference?""The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law.License and registration, please!" the cop says.Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket.""That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir," the cop says.

At this point, the cop takes out his Billy club and starts beating the ever-loving shit out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to stop, or just slow down??****************************************************************************************

Hey guys, here's one. But this is no joke. A female lawyer that worked at FOP was confronted about screwing up a case. She signed a resignation on the spot but then later sued the FOP claiming that she was filed because she was pregnant. Two FOP trustees, Bob Podgorny and Harold Brown, have been supporting this woman's lawsuit against the Lodge. They're trying to make it an FOP election issue. You might remember Bob as the guy who couldn't show up for work when he was FOP vice-president under Nolan. He's retired now. Bob also tried to expense some car tires to the FOP and ate his was through a lot of dues money. For his part, Harold Brown collected disability benefits from the pension board for years. Once he retired, his disability apparently disappeared as he began working on "police scenarios" jumping in and out of squad cars. And this fucker couldn't have worked light duty? No, he had to raid our pension fund.

THE PUNCH LINE: The traitors Bob Pod and Harold Brown want you to continue to support them financially in their retirement. They are both running for FOP trustee. If you see either or both of these complete assholes before the election, ask them about the issues raised here. DO NOT vote for them.

FYI! The pension fund does not pay I repeat does not pay Disability benefits they come from a separate fund as the city does not pay into workmens comp. Insofar as the city they save millions of dollars with this system. Disabled officers do not collect from the pension fund. Don't hate the injured officers. Hate the white shirts who are raping the pension.

FYI, Mr. FYI,

You don't know shit. Why are disability cases presented and ruled on by the pension fund? The IOD medical roll and payment of medical bills by the City is is place of workers comp. However, payment of disability benefits is approved by, and comes from, the Pension Fund. Also, noone hates injured officers, but everyone should hate people collecting disability when they can work.

Sorry guy but the first poster was right.indeed it is a separate fund, The board only decides the case on who has juice or luck.Money does not come from the pension fund comes from city funds placed in a workmen's comp fund which again is separate. and yes its true the city saves millions with this special type of fund yet understand something only Chicago Has this special fund to save money. The Chicago way.

The Chicago police department is self insured, You are not covered by workmen's comp. this is why you do not receive monies for pain and suffering as others do who are covered by workmen's comp. Only CPD is self insured not the other Departments they all receive payment for pain and suffering.
